Historically..... BTC will tend to rally AFTER a Gold rally finishes/pops. Gold is still posting new ATHs, so BTC being somewhat subdued isn't that surprising to me. Question is if we're really seeing an irrational bubble in gold/silver prices, or if this is the "new normal". If the latter...

OK, so we're getting the Aquaman "I had to hide you somewhere safe" trope... Good enough. I just hope they don't spend 2/3rds of the move getting him to the point of getting the sword and back to Eternia.

NGL, I pulled out our generator and did a 2 hour "test run" to make sure it was ready just in case. We're in N. Texas and apparently going to be getting "wintry mix" Friday night, freezing rain/sleet Saturday, then snow Saturday night. I test the generator because anytime anything frozen...

Looks like Davos jump started the speed of this cycle. Since today he announced a "framework" was reached for a deal. Which would now put us at step 8 to lead into this weekend.

I'm trying to hunt down if it's real or not. But I'm seeing tweets and nonsense saying there's a second crypto bill about to plow through congress because of the money behind it, and it's going to functionally make self custody impossible by stating that all crypto must be held on government...

Talking to some of the folks in my org who are "coders" now... all in their early 20's.... And I feel this future is charging at them like Thomas the Tank Engine on a cocaine bender...

Now a days they could just set a stream of Nuvoluxe off youtube into the things.... The ultimate in "wallpaper music". Completely AI generated, always sounds somehow comfortable and familiar, while also being completely forgettable. I'll literally put it on in my car when I want to wholly...

In my case the mortgage for me is the last standing debt I have. No CC balances, no car payments... and I never racked up college debt.

Yeah, another Trump generated "buying opportunity".... Following his standard tariff playbook. A comprehensive step-by-step playbook to navigate Trump's trade war: On Friday, President Trump posts a cryptic message signaling tariffs on a specific country or sector. Markets drift lower as...

I've actually had this shop fix a different rim for me before. Cool guy and simple cracks are usually $30-50. Just annoyed that now my side project tomorrow morning will be taking the wheel off and hauling it up there in the wife's car.

So today's entry in "The surprise expenses never stop"... Had the rear passenger tire in my caddy losing around 1lb of pressure every couple days, I believe if you recall I talked about this before in here and they found and fixed a flat (screw in the tire). It started again. I figured with...

The fact of it being in a bank account is part of my "speed to money" habit which came from my post depression era grandfather. It starts with that adage about "Always have 6 months of your expenses readily available in case of emergency", which for me I've always seen as something like...

Only big purchase would be the potential of "buying land away from town to build the forever house on" and that's a far larger scale than what's left. It's also probably something I'd cash out my outsized bucket of stock in my current company to do. But I am also in my mid 50's so looking at...

When I had around a nice car left, I meant in the principal, and if $50k is what it takes to get a nice car now, then it's less than a nice car left.... Around $36k

My daily driver is a full sized corsair mechanical with round keycaps on it.
